Abstract
Monitoring, analysis and optimization of buildings' energy consumption is of central importance for the renovation and energy-efficient operation of buildings since it allows the identification and correction of inefficient energy usage. However, the monitoring and control systems adoption for building management and control applications is hampered by the unavailability of appropriate tool environments. This paper addresses the need for integration concepts, holistic monitoring, analysis methodologies, multi dimensional decision support and scenario based control strategies through the seamless integration of ubiquitous sensing infrastructures, service oriented architectures, BIM tools and Data Warehouse technologies. The developed system is demonstrated and validated in the Environmental Research Institute (ERI) building located on the campus of National University of Ireland-University College Cork.
